Your dmesg snippets had ext3 mentioned, though:

  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): recovery required on readonly filesystem
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery
  <6>EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled
  ..
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): recovery complete
  <6>EXT3-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
  <6>dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda1

not that I see that it should matter, but there's been some bigger
ext3 changes too (like the batched discard).

I don't really think ext3 is the issue, though.

Please do. You seem to be much better at triggering it than anybody
else. And do the DEBUG_LIST and DEBUG_SLUB_ON things too (even if the
DEBUG_LIST thing won't catch list_move())
